Lindstrom top launcher

Recommended Posts

I just picked this up off of a fellow Alphadromer: a Lindstrom top launcher, possibly from the 1920s.  It's a little off-topic, but I was fascinated by how similar the mechanism and the shape of the gun were to the Jack Armstrong Shooting Plane gun, and by extension, the flying saucer guns of later decades.  If anyone knows the year this toy was manufactured, I'd appreciate the info (the engraving on the toy says, "patent pending").

And here it is, side-by-side with the Jack Armstrong Shooting Plane, for comparison:
